The nomination period for RUSA's 2013 achievement awards, travel
scholarships and research grants is now open!

We have a large variety of awards for both new and accomplished
librarians throughout the reference and user services profession.

 

Among them, we have two new awards this year:

The Gale Cengage History Research and Innovation Award
<http://www.ala.org/rusa/sections/history/research_award>  encourages
submissions from MLS degreed librarians looking to further research
relating to history and history librarianship. Research must reflect
interest in one of the History Section's subject-oriented committees:
Genealogy, Local History, Instruction and Research Services and
Historical Materials. The winner will receive up to $2,500, sponsored by
Gale Cengage, and a citation.

The BRASS Business Expert Press Award for Academic Business Librarians
<http://www.ala.org/rusa/awards/brass_business_expert_press_award>
recognizes a librarian new to the field of academic business
librarianship to attend the ALA Annual Conference. The winner will
receive $1,250 for travel expenses supported by Business Expert Press
and a citation.

A comprehensive list of these awards with pertinent details about the
nomination period and related deadlines is at the RUSA Blog:
